“Dear Sister, This is the way you will put on the day when you get home. Grandma [unknown to whom she is referring. Grandma Weaver died in 1864, Grandma Knaisch in the same time frame. She may have beeen referring to Ellora’s mother, Anna Knaisch Weaver] said if you did not have money to come home with to write as soon as you got this. Everybody is well but Elmer [Elmer Joseph Goodlif Weaver, Ellora;s brother] he has a bad cold. About all is to hope to hear from you soon, Good by. From your loveing sister, Mrs. C. M. Weaver [C. M. Weaver was Casper Merriam Weaver, Ellora’s brother, the writer was Casper’s wife, Anna Irene Potts Weaver]”

Interesting exchange between my grandfather’s cousin and her sister-in-law. Apparently, mail was sent to my great grandparents’ home at that time. Adding more to the theory that Ellora was in Mount Clemens for the mineral baths.
